Game of Thrones: The Dawn Age, Explained

Unlike Tolkien’s fantasy realm, humans contribute to around 90% of the relevant events in Game of Thrones. They fight over ethnic backgrounds and family names, but there’s no difference in species. Humans rule Westeros, frequently butchering each other for chunks of land and fancy titles. However, people weren’t always the dominant species on the continent. That era began thousands of years ago with the Dawn Age.
